There are some fantastic 24 hour deals on Xbox Live today. Unmissable, in fact…

Microsoft is really stepping up their game lately. Some of the deals have been irresistible these last few days.

BanBrother4070d ago

I do so hope this is a sign of things to come, and not some quick 'sorry' package to the fans so that they buy a '720'. Suprised to see there are some genuinely good deals. Too bad a don't buy digital games, unless they are arcade titles.

ALLWRONG4070d ago

Because of these prices I have bought 8 great games so far for $2.99 and $4.99.

Genuine-User4070d ago (Edited 4070d ago )

RDR and Arkham City was free on PS+.
I would appreciate if Microsoft did the same for us Xbox live users as well.

SJPFTW4070d ago

you are renting those games, you cant play them after your subscription ends. so its not "free" when you have to pay to play them.

saying games are 'free' pn PS+ is like saying online play is free on xbox live gold LOLOL. nice try though

Genuine-User4070d ago

I originally bought PS+ for early demos, priority beta invitations, special offers, full game trials and automatic downloads.
Even if you want to call PS+ a rental service, it's the best thing Sony has ever done in the online department and it sort of craps on Xbox Live to be honest. The amount of stuff I get for a few quid a month is fantastic.

I have been on Xbox live for over 5 years now and I would love them to do something similar to what Sony has done, rather than charging us for online play, which by the way is free on every other platform.

abzdine4070d ago

i dont know if you are stupid or what but if you think for a short while let's admit you rent the games from Sony,once you finish the game you dont touch it anymore! so i prefer to rent a game at almost 0 cost rather than buy it.

you are a pigeon you pay for Xbox Live to pay for a game, it's your own choice.

ALLWRONG4070d ago

"Not this again." just because you live in denial doesn't make it not true.

ThanatosDMC4070d ago

And you pay to play multiplayer games that you've all ready bought, why again???

SonyAddict4070d ago

Yeah but its a much better deal than anything Microsoft have ever done..are you jealous?

paddystan4070d ago

Ps Plus stille gives you something. LIVE pushes you to buy something which is suppose to be free.

I would hardly call this deals since you can get them for much cheaper than this.

Emzx994070d ago

Oh I suppose you can prove that right?

"XBOX gold has better social. PS4 is going to be better on social but for now XBOX rules the roost." (From the article)

I'm gonna archive this; even an MS employee admits there's a lot of work that needs to compete with what Sony is doing.

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming12d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long12d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming12d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple10112d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor12d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6912d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming12d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno12d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming12d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime

Exvalos26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.

anast26d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg26d ago

One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.

Steam's highest-rated game is now less than a dollar in the Spring Sale

Jack writes: "Yet again browsing the latest offers in the Steam Spring Sale has led us to track down the very best. In terms of price to quality, we don’t think that it gets much better than this. Portal 2 is now less than a dollar, and if you haven’t got it already, now is the time to pick it up."

TheEroica35d ago

Portal deserves to be one of steams highest rated games... It's almost tetris levels of perfect game design.

TheEnigma31335d ago

It's a great game, but highly overrated. But for $1, it's an amazon deal.

Friendlygamer35d ago

Valve should bring their games to ps5

Kados34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

Gotta love Steam. Just got Portal 2 for .97 cents CAD. Should have been $1.29, selected the bundle with Portal 1 and 2, which gets a 25% discount, already have Portal 1, so it removes the cost of that, and still applies the full 25% bundle discount to Portal 2. 90% + 25% discount.

Friendlygamer34d ago

That's sweet, I've been thinking about building a modest pc to play some oldies
